[Highland Park] Tree Care Day-Volunteers still needed
by Nancy Levine-Arnold 13 Jul '10

13 Jul '10

Dear Neighbors We hope you can help us care for the trees that our neighborhood recently planted on N. Highland and Stanton Avenues. We need help weeding, mulching and cleaning trash out or the tree beds. WHEN: Saturday July 24 from 9 until about noon (you are welcome, even if you can't stay the entire time) WHERE: Meet at the corner of N Highland and Stanton Avenues RSVP: to this email if you can make it. Let me know if you are a Tree Tender when you RSVP. WHAT: bring a hat, sunscreen and comfortable shoes WHO: All ages are welcome We will have snacks and drinks afterwards. Nancy Arnold, Highland Park Tree Tender JUST SAY NO TO CYPRESS MULCH Bald Cypress grows mainly southern swamps. It does not regenerate rapidly and is vital to the swamp ecosystem. It is a waste of a good and magnificent tree to grind it up and throw it on your garden. Also, it does not even make very good mulch. For more information and alternative mulches, go to: www.saveourcypress.org

[Highland Park] Walk in the Woods (July 2010)
by Rudolph T. Maceyko 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Neighbors, Come on out for a Walk in the Woods (the park) on Wednesday evening, July 14, 2010 at 6:30pm. We start at the fountain, walk in the woods as much as we can, and end back at the fountain about an hour later. Map showing the location of the Highland Park fountain: http://goo.gl/maps/ocFa The July walks are a little different from the rest: we will hear about an update to the Regional Parks Master Plan with specific topics for Highland Park including rediscovering lost landscape assets, amenities and connections. The walk is fun for everyone but keep in mind that paths and steps in the park can be uneven. For the full schedule (including walks in the other parks) see the Pittsburgh Parks web site: http://www.pittsburghparks.org/walks-in-the-woods Rudy
